CAPACITY BUILDING

Corporation for National & Community Service

AmeriCorps VISTA Program

The AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) Program taps the skills,
talents, and passions of more than 8,000 Americans annually to
support community efforts to overcome poverty. The program's nationwide
corps of VISTAs commits full-time for a year at nonprofit organizations or
local government agencies to build the capacity of these organizations
to carry out programs that tackle poverty.

The
Senior Corps RSVP Program supports the increased impact of volunteers ages 55
and older. Volunteers commit up to 40 hours per week and serve in a diverse range of activities that meet local
community needs, while also improving their lives by staying active and
civically engaged.

Each year, AmeriCorps NCCC members travel
the country strengthening communities by addressing critical needs and responding to disasters. Members serve full-time on service projects related to natural and other disasters, infrastructure improvement, environmental stewardship and conservation, energy conservation, and urban and rural development.

AmeriCorps State and National
supports a wide range of local service programs that engage
thousands of Americans in intensive community service each year. They provide
grants to a network of local and national organizations and agencies committed
to using national service to address critical community needs in education,
public safety, health, and the environment.
